2017 is now being reconstructed. In 2014 leader abu bakar all baghdadi came to the mosque to announce the creation of the Islamic State caliphate. The effort by the iraqi army and its allies to drive out of the city caused heavy damage and killed or wounded thousands of civilians now 2 years later many local residents still have not recovered from the effects of the war theyve suffered too much and their grief cannot be measured. More than 35000 people live at this camp for displaced persons in the town of hamam. About 20 kilometers south of mosul. Most of the residents are alleged to have ties to i asked fighters. There are a number of orphans and widows here. One of those widows lives in this tent with her 5 children her name is rose. Her husband was killed in an air raid on a mosque in mosul he was the muezzin or prayer leader there will says he did not belong to i yes. As a rocky troops clashed with Islamic State fighters in 2017 she and her children fled. Theyve lived in this tent ever since. I was told that the Authorities Say that my husband was a member of i asked about and thats why they refused to give us identity documents they say they were and i asked family what i would want. And them if i dont and because we dont have those documents we cant leave the camp that has been that we cant go anywhere in the have one of. Your. Role in our family spend much of the day watching t. V. She herself was not a member of aa yes but the wives and children of Islamic State fighters are paying a heavy price for crimes committed by their husbands and fathers. Omar is 8 years old and hes now the breadwinner in his family hes just come home from his job in town he walked for 2 kilometers so hes hot tired fuck you did he pay you know why not he just didnt. Feel of them are you tired of this did they give you anything to eat yet have you eaten at all let me know. Those omar talked to grow sure into giving him a bag of tomatoes its not much but its better than nothing he earns the equivalent of less than a euro a day as a workmans assistant. We used to live well. Back then we came here and i started working. Monday hes all i have. Many adults sometimes i think we deserve this but then again my children are not at fault and. Chillies are they and other Family Members havent committed any crimes. Im afraid of the iraqi troops i dont have any documents and the Authorities Say that my husband was in is. Yes. Well im out of time all i want is my identity papers. Without those documents the children cant go to school. The camp is run by international n. G. O. S but iraqi law applies here. Robert gottliebsen in april the ministry of education announced that schools will no longer accept children who dont have id people asli but have you apply at the ministry to get them. They dont there must be registered and their school year one count. The new regulations apply to i. A. S. Families in particular. The minister says we cant admit those children. If they dont know the documents i cant help them. These families also need papers to qualify for food aid from the Iraqi Government. Today and International Organization is handing out surplus flour to large families. But the flour could spoil an extreme heat. Families that dont have id documents have to rely exclusively on International Food aid amount. That hell buy at the moment that we only get flour and the rice theres no more salt sugar or oil or even whole grains at the dutch are grateful for what they give us but we need those identification papers most of them we cant go on like this and when i go to see the security authorities they hold up my file and say your husband wasnt i honest were not going to help you i was just there you know i mean im not going to china to show us it wasnt. Raul is fairly comfortable here. Her sisters tent has some benches and other furniture. The children seem to be getting along well. But omar cant forget that hes the only member of the family whos earning money. And they pay you. The boss said not till this afternoon. But he said this morning. I dont know he said afternoon. The. Official what are you going to work tomorrow. I dont know. Now your most is a dog he said he pays in the morning in the same as yesterday. Well they hand out more food soon. That probably some flour do you have any left a little its probably spoiled they said theyd be flowers. Right now nearly 900000 children are living in displaced persons camps around iraq an estimated 45000 of them have no identification documents. Countless other children live in miserable conditions outside the camps. Iraqis refer to the id papers as the gold square theyre an indispensable part of everyday life people need these documents to travel or apply for a job or for food aid. To get these documents people have to go to their local Police Station and the process includes an interview with a representative of the Security Forces. That can be intimidating for a single woman or the widow of an Islamic State fighter. Cut off this is. Still poses a threat if those fighters are still alive their women will try to help them we do sometimes insurgents will get new papers and try to sneak back into society. So little george. Will change their appearance to shave off their beard or grow a new one. I think these i expand these are really dangerous they hate the Security Forces and then a rock all they care about is causing destruction and bloodshed it into missile caught up with the model. Of this. Islamic state once controlled large parts of iraq and syria it has now lost almost all of that territory. But several 1000 i as fighters remain in iraq and theyre still dangerous. Insurgents have launched attacks on villages near hamam. And theyve placed improvised explosive devices or i e ds along the roads theres some sort of incident every week. They burn down much of the vegetation along this part of the tigris river. This open land is a Perfect Place for insurgents to hide and launch their attacks. But terrorist activity is a rare in mosul its that small compensation for children like omar who work on the streets for very little money. The children often do jobs that no one else wants. I know that this 14 year old boy and his cousin are emptying garbage bins. Theyre paid by local merchants and private citizens. These children are in the equivalent of less than 3 euros a day. I thought i have to make some money. Sell myself so i can buy food for my family. I. I. I love our soldiers it just breaks my heart to see these kids sniffing like this they dont go to school and they have no future none at all. They have to work to provide food for themselves and for their family theres no shame in working but they do this because they have to. Mark the end of the debts just so i look at a mother will tell you if you dont pay the kids to empty the bins theyll just fill up at least theyre making some money the city certainly wont pay them well theyre going to be a lot i. This is the nabi yunis shopping street in central mosul. It survived the war largely unscathed. Children also work here for pennies a day. They are the countless tireless little workers in postwar mosul. But most of the kids here orphans their fathers mothers or brothers are dead or they lost their home during the war they dont earn a lot for this kind of work just enough to survive. Parents are still alive but their house was destroyed in the fighting and theyre rebuilding it bit by bit and aboud helps to pay for that. I still say i want to bet you that it is. But many other children in mosul have lost their entire families. The municipal orphanage has now reopened its doors and takes care of about 50 children but thats just a fraction of the total number. That i. Like for orphans is difficult anywhere but particularly in muslim countries orphanages are rare and although muslims are encouraged to care for these children adoption in the western sense is controversial. They may be the children of i. A. S. Spiders or iraqi soldiers they may simply be poor hungry or homeless. Some more sex slaves for the terrorists. But their lives were changed forever by a conflict over which they had no control. I had no idea and we dont distinguish between i asked children and others well we dont even use the word zionists that they are children period theyre not to blame. But i. The liberation of mosul was a welcome victory for the iraqi army and its allies. But that victory was achieved at a terrible cost to the local residents are the the parents of the children who lived in this house were killed in the war theyre being raised by an aunt the youngest child cant even remember her mother and father. The boys all want to become military officers the oldest of them is 17 and he can enlist soon. Its out of this i went back to school so that i could join the army i want to keep my ass from coming back. The savages and then taken everything from us they killed my parents. When i think about Islamic State so i get so angry that i want to join the army and fight them. In the city thats what. For some people here the grief will never end many have tried to expunge the Islamic State from their collective memory. Some have whitewashed a black flags that i as painted on the walls. Deitch the name for i as used almost universally by arabic speakers has been painted on buildings such as this one. Although it actually houses the office of a local elected Government Official called a mokhtari. His primary job is to help people work their way through the bureaucracy and it was. My muscle i need i. D. s for the family and both witnesses and then you can have your disability card oh my oh great ill be back in 10 minutes. I dont want the owners of this house r. I. A. s yet you would like the graffiti i think so you know its an i as house nice idea doesnt that bother you. That absolutely not i asked road christian or infidel on the homes of civilians and government workers i know that they started all this a lot of them and now were doing the same to them oh i didnt accept that so you behave like they did no no no i dont but its a case of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth its payback time i see your id card. It was a. Success and if. The muck tar keeps a close watch on all the official paperwork including applications for the all important gold square documents. Hes especially vigilant when it comes to suspected i. A. S. Families. Like that in the us but judge not as they come in here and try to get new papers but i know them and they wont get any. Bad idea that these people have to leave iraq even though theyre iraqi citizens. Theyve shed too much plant and killed too many people do the math do you want someone like that living next door to you. Yeah you want them living in your town police its just not acceptable and the mob of which. You are sure much Little Cottage those that are still with this Islamic State kill children old people officers and soldiers and we should let these people back into the community their kids are just like them i ask killed our children but not location. You have to pay a price for hurting people. The i ask fighters should have thought about that before hand. Delivered the food they should have thought about their children their wives their brothers their family their tribe the. Look at the guy but they knew this would be a dead body but if you cant join i asked commit awful crimes that matter and then expect us to take care of your kids i think it absolutely not be a thought oh no of course not so this mokhtari is committed to keeping suspected i as Family Members out of his neighborhood. But some people are reportedly taking the law into their own hands. There are rumors going around that some whove been linked to Islamic State have been killed by local residents. Theyre going to do. Need to do to get some Family Members fear for their safety to the point where theyve gone into hiding. Weve come to a suburb of mosul to meet some of them we wanted to find out whether they still support an organization that is now condemned by so many local residents. In your opinion of i guess. Im sorry tim touched i thought it was fine to tell you the truth. I could practice my religion as i wished with no restrictions. That. So i enjoyed my life under Islamic States. Sure things were better back then nowadays everyone gives us a hard time but without us with felt secure everything was fine to. Hold on month. The summer no we dont feel safe anymore if i want to go out in public on my i have to sneak out of the house. Or does it lie the colonel she started up. This womans husband is said to have been an eye a spider she says hes dead but he supposedly survived the battle of mosul she claims to know nothing about is a work as she calls it. One has a good number sometimes he said he was a soldier other times he said he was a commander i dont know for sure but i had the he never told me about his work he didnt trust anyone. Else and. The watch of course his work frightens me but i dont know anything about it so its and im scared because he did that work for a long time. And thats why the authorities are looking for him or so im afraid that theyll arrest me because of him. And there are now what they want to. Be so bring back i s. So right im still here in my situation id like to see that. She has a 10 year old son one of the Islamic State child soldiers the lion cubs of the caliphate. They were trained in special camps but i also use them as human shields. Weve agreed not to show his face. He suffers from a nervous tic and vision problems. Ive been exercising to make myself stronger. Better and i do push ups and target practice by throwing rocks at bottles. The boy works at a construction site in mosul to work in money to help his family. So far hes managed to escape the security patrols that are constantly on the lookout for Islamic State sleeper cells. Reports say an estimated 20000 people who have alleged ties to i answer being held in iraqi prisons among them are several 100 former child soldiers. What will become of these prisoners. The authorities seem to have forgotten that Islamic States origins can be traced back to a u. S. Detention facility that was set up in 2003 during the iraq war. The prisoners could decide to join forces just as they did back then. Baghdad based authorities have now come to mosul to make sure that all residents are properly registered. The norwegian Refugee Aid Organization that manages this camp also offers legal advice to widows. This mother needs documents for her 2 year old son who was born after the battle of mosul. Is that was he born in a hospital or attends to the can attend. Just. How many in the family. 7 of them hes your youngest yes. We do you work or stay at home with it i stayed home with him at home yes and your husband hes dead. Did he stay with you. When they arrived he waited a year and then joined them as he wanted to say you want to see what he wants and i dont know but i applied for a security clearance from the authorities. Official and you get it do you have the documents yes yes here they are. Going to show me. That security clearance is called a to breo it proves that a spouse is no longer legally wed to an i. A. S. Member it gives people who are suspected of having ties to i. A. S. The opportunity to start life with a clean slate. Thats a bria is mandatory even if as in this case the Family Member never actually belong to Islamic State. So were down here i told my husband dont join them think of our children he said god will protect you. This morning more than 600 residents of the hamam camp are to be sent back to their home regions and the norwegian Aid Organization cant do anything to stop it. All the representatives can do is keep an eye on the situation because the Iraqi Government has the final say. Critics consider such actions forced repatriations which are illegal under International Human rights law. I. Think the article is a little go on that and you go as i was on that up probably to take your daughter to the local food i think i go civil complacency on certain future disabled and sick people it has been hard on to the boss that its unacceptable. To just accept that i. Dont know where were going. The other does no barrier to another camp. And what camp no ones told us anything. So i know for sure were not just going to dump you someplace. They didnt say were going to another camp they just said youre leaving. This is oficial government policy. But you can ask the authorities to take you to another camp that somehow the i cannot definitively and i know you dont want to leave this camp for safety. Here there are no iraqi troops here and no ones harassing us they treat us well here thats why we want to stay safe we return to our home region there might be trouble. Im not much to think that it was. Some families have already received Death Threats on social media because of their alleged ties to i. A. S. In the district of. About 100 kilometers southwest of here some victims of Islamic State terrorist attacks are said to be plotting revenge against the returning. That could have deadly consequences for some of these people most of whom are women and children. These are the 1st major forced repatriations from this camp and the Authorities Say there will be more. The gradual closing of the camps is yet another indication that the government is serious about restoring law and order in iraq. But for these families its a potentially dangerous journey into the unknown. Because of the deportation operation the rest of the residents have to stay in their tents that means that omar wont be able to go to work today. His mother is nervous right now everyone knows whats going on outside. And of course im scared yesterday i heard that they were going to shut down the camp i couldnt sleep all night what am i supposed to do my son i still dont have any idea papers are thats my big problem right now and not revenge attacks. And i want to stay here. So now that mosul has been liberated the iraqi authorities are working to restore order but regardless of where these families end up they are marked for life by their Association Real or alleged with a ruthless terrorist organization. And we have not heard the last of Islamic State. Because. 3 women magicians have one goal put the back of the net theyve come all the way to that stage. Because football is a team sport. Because. W.
